How The Saints May Have Handed Chicago Some Kyle Monangai Insurance

The Chicago Bears are reportedly the favorites to sign running back Kendre Miller to their practice squad after he was released by the New Orleans Saints. Erik Lambert writes that Miller could serve as valuable insurance for rookie running back Kyle Monangai, who has been sidelined for a month due to turf toe and is not expected to play until after the team's bye week.

Lambert argues that Chicago's backfield needs depth following injuries to Monangai and special teamer Zavier Scott, leaving D'Andre Swift and Roschon Johnson to carry the workload. The writer notes that Miller's college production and ties to Bears defensive coordinator Dennis Allen make him a strong fit for Ben Johnson's offensive system.
